Looking for a buddy to go through the the process with. I'm scheduled for surgery on Dec 16, I have a mass in my intestines that I need to make another appt to see what's going on with that. It didn't postpone my surgery, but I'm a lil nervous now. Any advice will b helpful.

Not sure if you're looking for someone who's going through the same thing with you at the same stage, but if you're looking for advice from someone who has gone through the process, I am more than willing to answer any questions and give any advice that I possibly can!

For starters, just a few quick words of advice -

  • Take everything slowly...very slowly. Things will certainly happen in their own time. When I say everything slowly, this goes for how you drink, how you eat, how you expect results, and everything else. You'll be in great shape before you know it!
  • Develop a great relationship with your nutritionist - he or she will have alot of great information and ideas for you as you go through this journey!
  • Please remember that no question is too foolish to ask...this is all new, so there may be many things you won't understand at first, but will be great stepping stones for you as you go through the process.
  • Take pictures of your 'before' you...you'll be amazed at the transformation!!
  • Keep a good log of your weight progress...it may not be an even steady process, but if you do your part, the results will be gratifyingly amazing!!
  • Take your Vitamins...they'll definitely make you feel better!
  • Drink, drink, and drink some more...it's one of the most important elements of the process!!
  • Try and get in exercise as soon as you're able to...whether it's walking, going to the gym ,or whatever you like to do. Not only will you feel so much better, you'll lose even more.

You'll find that this is a really great group...many people with many different ways to help you as well as each other!

I wish you the very best success in your journey!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
